If they do, perhaps we could carry car-disabling firearms to fire upon any autonomous vehicles before they kill us.
Another use for firearms by non-resistant Christians.

Fun fact: people in Arkansas or Alabama (can't remember which) used to be the most obese in the nation in the 1990s.

But that rate now would be the lowest in the nation. It's spread everywhere.
Oklahoma, Louisiana and West Virginia currently have the highest obesity rates in the nation at over 40%. Not coincidentally they are also three of the poorest states. As those to things seem to go increasingly hand-in-hand. Colorado is the fittest state. Lots of interesting data here. Especially where they break it out by race: https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/prevalence-maps.html

Arkansas’s was something like 17%… considered way too high back then. Colorado is usually the lowest and it’s over 20% now.

(DC of course is a playground for the wealthy.)
